Millie,

You can have adhesions that don't involve the bowel. Often times these adhesions can mimic the pain caused by those that involve the bowel. Please relax....and (if you don't mind my saying and I think someone else said this earlier....something I think of all the time) Let Go and Let God! God will take care of you...just turn it over to him.

Love, Karla
